I find that the LLM is great for helping with the starting problem. I will go for a walk and basically brain dump my thoughts and ideas about a topic/doc into a voice note, where I can ramble, wander from point to point, etc. Then I transcribe it, get a model to take that and turn it into something cohesive, and then I spend multiple hours reading it, reworking it, and editing it. I am not very good at writing docs and this method produces something with far more detail and quality than I would ever get on my own. But AI;DR right?
To play devil's advocate here, it is possible for someone to simultaneously use AI to write and also not be a meat proxy. I'm not saying that is the norm, but I have written docs where the vast majority of the words come from AI, but I also spent multiple days on the substance and content.
I bet this is the inverse problem. Someone thought "oh a prescription is definitely privacy sensitive information, I should ensure the OS does the right thing" not realizing this counter productive behavior.
What does "100% generated" mean? Do you mean a movie executive told Claude to "make me a 100 million dollar blockbuster, make no mistakes" or do you mean that folks use generative tools to help write the screenplay, generate scenes, etc, or something else?
Interestingly, on mobile the first "broken" example, lets me continue to scroll the page when I touch down in the example area. The second "fixed" example traps my scroll. All the things light up, but I can't scroll the page if I touch down in that area.
There is full support for GitHub sandboxes today, and in the near future the remote session experience will improve, so your laptop (or your phone, or the web) can be the control plane.
Yes get a coffee. Being able to execute 5 things at once is amazing, but it's a recipe for burnout. We have to be more careful and explicit about how we spend our time, and that means more explicit time away. If this thing makes you 10x more effective (I truly believe it can), you can afford to spend 20% less time behind the desk and more time doing whatever it is that actually makes you happy. Hopefully your manager understands that calculus.
I'd be interested in seeing actual agent benchmarks (eg CC or Copilot CLI with grep removed and this tool instead).
For example, I have explored RTK and various LSP implementations and find that the models are so heavily RL'd with grep that they do not trust results in other forms and will continually retry or reread, and all token savings are lost because the model does not trust the results of the other tools.
Maybe not safe for valuables. What about stuff that has no value to anyone else? I'm not a villain from Ocean's Eleven, no one is stealing my passwords to break into my elaborate safe.
Let's imagine a scenario. For your entire life, you have been taught to respond to people in a very specific way. Someone will ask you a question via email and you must respond with two or three paragraphs of useful information. Sometimes when the person asks you a question, they give you books that you can use, sometimes they don't.
Now someone sends you an email and asks you to help them fix a bug in Windows 12. What would you tell them?
I think it is a momentum problem. You learn to use a keyboard when you are young/inexperienced, because you need to learn something, and then learning something new is hard and slows you down, so you stick with what you know. It's doubly hard to both create a new layout and learn it.
Also, when you age your skin dries out and touch screens are less sensitive to your presses. So not only are these things exceptionally complex to use (eg many abstract concepts) the interface also does not really function well, making it a double whammy. I've had multiple cases watching my aging parents where I say press that or drag this, and it literally does not work, and makes them feel completely inept.
For the sake of our parents, we (as technology builders and buyers) need to be more comfortable saying the latest iPoop Galaxy S might be just not the right choice for a big segment of our society, and we need to make phones with buttons.
Yes if I just run Claude Code it works fine. But I want to be able to use any of these multiplexing tools (eg Codex, Cursor Background Agents, this Conductor tool) in the same scenario.
I've been looking for a tool like this, that lets Claude operate on multiple repos. I work on a project that has frontend/packages and backend (separate repos instead of a monorepo for good reasons) and I often develop features that cross both repos. With the terminal I can clone both down into a directory and start Claude code there, but all the tools for background/multiplexing are always built around a single repo. Any chance I can get multi-repo tasks supported?
Does anyone have any suggestions for typing practice programs that involve coding symbols? I recently got a new mechanical keyboard and I want to practice the new layout when I'm not also trying to think and solve programming problems.
There is a fallacy here. If you know they don't perform well in places where you have the expertise to detect it, it is a mistake to assume they perform well in other areas. My conclusion has been that they are useful for kicking off a task, sometimes useful for ideation, but generally will fall down on anything reasonably complex. The dangerous bit is that it's hard to detect the line where they start to fail.
I have a server in my garage, and I periodically run RClone to clone my Google photos and Google drive to a local RAID cluster. I also periodically run duplicati to sync a copy of those files to Backblaze. It provides me protection against losing my Google account, and also protection against a local disaster (like a fire or something). Enough redundancy to keep me happy and those two programs are pretty easy to set up and run on a cron schedule.
I recently left my job at ClassDojo. It is a place that truly wants to help teachers do well and improve the education experience for kids (and their parents/guardians). We love to hear from the teachers about how much ClassDojo makes a difference for them.
The company is exploring a ton of cool stuff to help kids beyond their classroom, and really wants to make things better.
For this situation, and similar ones, there are simple solutions. For example, in this situation, the timer should always be running (and resets when the light changes). When a car triggers the sensor, the light should change if the timer is > N. If the timer is not there yet, wait until timer is N.
No AI required, just basic thoughtfulness and requirements gathering.
